You cannot convert an iDEN phone to GSM. The radio antenna in the phone is iDEN and there is nothing you can do to change this. A GSM phone is GSM only, CDMA is CDMA only and iDEN is iDEN only. There are phones with multiple radio antennas (CDMA and iDEN or iDEN and GSM) but even when the phone has multiple radio antennas, it only works on the certain bands on the one in the US and on the other overseas. In otherwords, don't waste your time. You can crack or flash. Not possible, I can assure you. Thanks. DebiN
